Recently, folk dance has been loved and cared for by many people in the province. Since then, folk dance clubs, teams, and groups have been continuously established, creating a widespread movement from urban to rural areas. Folk dance sports not only help people in the province to exercise, improve their health, but also provide a gentle and cultural way to connect with each other more and more closely...

Dinh Hoa District Youth Union coordinated with communes, towns and schools to organize a district-level folk dance competition.

Folk dance is a sport that does not require high technical skills like dancing, but is a combination of simple, easy-to-remember movements, diverse and rich exercises, and simple costumes, so it attracts a large number of people from urban to rural and mountainous areas in the province to participate.

After dinner every day or on weekends in the courtyard of the cultural house, public spaces in many localities in the province resound with music, sometimes gentle, sometimes lively. That is the time when members of clubs, groups, and folk dance teams enthusiastically practice, laugh, and talk happily.

Because of the free training and many benefits, folk dance clubs, groups and teams attract more and more people to register to participate. Some clubs initially had only a few members, but later increased to hundreds of members. This is a good sign for the mass cultural and sports movement of the province.

The vibrant activities of folk dance clubs have also contributed positively to the common goals of the locality, helping to promote the movement of the whole population to exercise, creating a spread throughout residential areas, connecting the spirit of community solidarity, making an important contribution to building grassroots cultural life, and repelling social evils.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tam in residential group 6, Quang Vinh ward ( Thai Nguyen city), said: Folk dance is divided into 3 types: festival folk dance, daily folk dance and epic folk dance. All 3 types have in common that through dance, they are gentle and smooth stories about daily life, romanticized through dance but still retain the characteristics of people's lives. Regardless of the type of folk dance, it is easy to practice, many ages can participate in each segment.

In addition to daily physical training, folk dance clubs in the province also gather core members to practice dances to perform at local events.

In addition to being close-knit during practice, members of folk dance clubs also help each other in daily life, contribute to a common fund to visit each other when sick or in trouble, thus further strengthening the bond of neighborly love.

Mr. Le Hong Chuong in Van Trai village, Tan Phu ward (Pho Yen city) shared: As material life becomes more and more prosperous, the spiritual life of all classes of people is getting more attention. Currently, the cultural, artistic and sports movement in my locality is developing day by day. Mass art clubs and groups have been established, attracting a large number of people to participate. This is a place to meet, exchange and share passion for art, making cultural life healthier, each family, clan, village, and hamlet unite, be in harmony, and contribute to building a prosperous and happy homeland.

The folk dance movement has developed strongly and has truly become a useful cultural playground, arousing the spirit of physical exercise and sports, improving health widely throughout the province.

Therefore, some localities have organized folk dance competitions to award prizes, encourage and select strong clubs with potential to continue investing and expanding.

Dinh Hoa District Youth Union Secretary Dao Thi Thanh Tuyen said: Folk dance activities in recent times have contributed to enriching the cultural and spiritual life in the district, building the image of confident citizens in the new era. Communes, towns, schools, and units in Dinh Hoa district have established hundreds of folk dance clubs, teams, and groups with the participation of thousands of members. The folk dance movement has contributed to building a team of union members and young people who are dynamic, confident, creative, and committed to the movement. This is also one of the contents contributing to improving the quality of cultural, artistic, physical training and sports activities following the example of great Uncle Ho, building livable countrysides.

It can be seen that folk dances are very colorful, bearing the historical imprints, cultural values and traditions of each ethnic group and community in the province. Without the need for a flashy stage, folk dances are performed anywhere, so they will certainly continue to develop deeply in people's lives.
